How To Choose Beginning Readers For Kindergarten

By Ronald Morris


When you have a child in kindergarten, the fun with school begins. They learn the alphabet, numbers, and begin to recognizing words. When you're ready to choose beginning readers for kindergarten, here is how you can get started.

Do not be afraid to ask for suggestions. Students, teachers, and other parents can suggest great books that will help your child. When you ask for suggestions, find out why the book was suggested, what they liked about the book, and what was their favorite part. Knowing the answer to these questions will help you choose the best book.

Sometimes following a list is the best way to go. The ALA (American Library Association), publishes a list every year to help parents find books their children may enjoy reading. The best lists to use are the lists from the current year and the lists from the previous year. These lists will help you find the appropriate books.

You may get lucky and stumble upon a series of books that your child loves reading. A series has more than one book, so encourage them to read as many books in the series as they can. This is a great way to get them to read more. You may be able to find a series that is similar to the current book they are reading. Try to find as many series as you can. The more your child reads, the better they will read and recognize words.

When you find something that your child takes an interest in, run with it. Some children are difficult to please, so finding a book that strikes their interest is exciting. Try to find as many books as possible on topics that interest them, which may include animals, traveling, and outer space.

Many books that are written receive numerous awards, and it is what makes them stand apart from other books. Books of these stature are not difficult to find because they are branded with a medal on the cover of the book. You may be interested in books that have received the Newbery Medal because it is only awarded to the greatest novels that are published for young readers.

Every child has a reading level, and it is usually obtained on your child's first day of school or during their kindergarten orientation. Your child may struggle to read at their reading level because they do not recognize certain words. In this situation, you should start your child reading on a level they are the most comfortable and work your way up to their ideal level.

When your child begins their reading process, it is a journey that is unlike any other. Your child may stumble with a few words here and there, but take your time and help them recognize new words and help them with words they struggle with from time to time. Reading can be frustrating at times, but have a little patience. Patience is one of the keys of success with reading.
